Lisa was a great host, communication was quick and easy. Fire had been started so was cosy. A real NZ batch, with everything we needed. Great to have towels, flannels plus hot water bottles for kids there. Kids enjoyed the toys, DVDs and games and school playground and tennis courts super close. Lovely view and location. Adult beds were comfy enough, but just squeaked a bit when rolled over. Overall a great place to stay and would recommend!

Warm and welcoming. Nice views from the deck looking towards the ranges, the lounge looking north and on the table out the back looking out to the pacific. A great place for the dogs with a fully fenced section.
